My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

In Langzhou City, the scorching heat of summer suddenly passed, and a cool breeze gradually emerged in the air.

Autumn was approaching.

These days, Gu Lan was genuinely studying diligently and hadn't gone anywhere.

It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he didn't have the time. Since the news of the great victory at Jade Gate Pass spread throughout the city, the people were overjoyed. However, Gu Lan noticed that his wife seemed even happier than the average person! Moreover, the frequency of her requests seemed to be increasing...

The noble and graceful female Emperor, who was exceptionally beautiful, was shameless when alone with Gu Lan... Of course, these matters were known to no one else.

Every day, Gu Lan engages in affectionate moments with his wife. Despite his high level of cultivation, engaging in "battles" day and night inevitably leads to some soreness in the waist and legs.

Gu Lan silently practiced the insight technique given by the old Daoist to a certain level, and now he could calculate the fortune and destiny of practitioners below the Nature Realm of certain realms.

For example, Gu Lan casually glanced at Old Yang, who was chatting outside the door.

[Fortune: White]

[Destiny: Solitary and bitter in the first half of life, warm and affectionate in the second half, fortunate to encounter a good master, enjoying a contented retirement.]

[Summary: Ordinary]

Then, he looked at himself.

[Fortune: Green]

[Destiny: A mediocre life, with unexpected good fortune at present; cultivation and future prospects are still unknown.]

[Summary: Against the odds]

After becoming proficient, Gu Lan was extremely excited.

It wasn't because the system had helped change his destiny. With this profound insight technique, he could use it when meeting people outside to check their destiny first before deciding whether to approach or not.

Invisibly, he could avoid conflicts with people marked as "Destiny Boy" or "Destiny Girl"! It was truly a divine skill for seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!

"Well... I should prioritize refining the insights of this and bring it to perfection!"

Gu Lan thought to himself, attaching great importance to this exceptional skill.

His current cultivation level had reached eighty thousand years, but he was still stuck at the Saint realm.

To make a breakthrough and reach the realm not mentioned in this castrated text, he had to rely on the innate fortune brought about by this decisive destiny!

...

[You've studied the Four Books and Five Classics for three days, gaining 100 years of cultivation. insights of "Qi-Insight Technique" +80.]

[You've written books Compendium of Materia Medica and Treatise On Febrile And Miscellaneous Diseases, gaining 666 in medical insights.]

[...]

Gu Lan diligently added points, appearing quite industrious. Mu Yuyan, seeing him study hard every day, felt a bit sorry for him.

That night, she carried a small medicine pot and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of medicinal porridge to nourish his body.

Liu Yexi happened to return and greeted Old Yang, who was sitting under the tree, then slipped into the kitchen.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Announcements Bureau has already dispatched personnel to keep an eye on Duke Mu Yun. There won't be any family or forces supporting him for three years."

Mu Yuyan didn't pay much attention, fanning the stove with a small fan, and responded with a faint "Hmm."

What the common merchants and traders considered a significant backing was nothing more than a thought in her mind. These trivial matters were not even as important as a single strand of Master Gu's hair in her eyes.

"Yexi, help me add some fire."

Mu Yuyan spoke lightly, her small hand wiping the plain apron, not very skilled as she lifted the lid of the medicine pot, squinting her phoenix eyes to see if the porridge was ready.

With a few traces of smoke on her extraordinarily beautiful face, she seemed even more charming.

Liu Yexi was stunned for a moment, quickly responding and assisting the female Emperor in making porridge.

"Your Majesty, there is actually another matter..."

"After the Secret Guard left Linqiang City, it seems that the Liu family was looted by unidentified bandits. The entire Residence is empty, and all their assets are gone."

"Because the Liu family used to plunder the common people of Linqiang City extensively, and now that the key figures of the Liu family have been eliminated, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue don't know how to rearrange things, so they want to ask for instructions..."

Linqiang City, known as the grain store of the Jing Nation, has always been the most affluent area. The Liu family was already wealthy, but it seems not surprising that a few enemies and bandits took advantage of the situation to rob them.

However, redeploying industries to replace the Liu family would be a challenge for the court.

"Hehe, in the past, the Ministry of Revenue wouldn't report such matters. Are they afraid now?" Mu Yuyan lightly frowned and shook her head. According to the past, those officials would definitely be competing to grab this piece of land, planting their own industries to make money in this rich area.

However, don't forget that the account book from Cai Yu is still in the hands of the female Emperor!

It's like a knife hanging over the heads of those officials!

Coupled with the ruthless methods used this time, killing the wealthy businessman Liu Wentian, the ministers were weighing their own weight, fearing that one day they might reach a point that the female Emperor couldn't tolerate, and their name would be struck off the account book, bringing disaster to their family.

"Enough, there's no need to let this group of cunning troublemakers disturb the mood," sighed Mu Yuyan, her beautiful eyes shimmering as she pondered slightly.

Liu Yexi waited silently. However, she knew that handling this matter gracefully wouldn't be easy. As long as it involves officials, there's bound to be some corruption.

Even if the Emperor chooses someone with a clean family background from the business world, it might not last long. Under the influence of greed, they might end up like the Liu family from before...

It's a dilemma.

"Yexi, tell the Ministry of Revenue not to bother with the arrangement of Linjiang City. We'll personally take control of it," unexpectedly, Mu Yuyan's lips curled up, and she smiled.

Surprised, Liu Yexi asked, "Your Majesty, what do you mean by 'we go'?"

Mu Yuyan glanced at her, with a somewhat proud tone, explained, "Our Gu Residence, anyway, we are merchants. Without the intervention of the court, it's better to send some people to take over Linjiang City, right?"

It turned out that the female Emperor was already speaking from the perspective of the Lady of the Gu family... Liu Yexi took three seconds to react!

Recently, she found that the female Emperor was becoming increasingly immersed in the mortal world, more precisely, becoming more obsessed with Gu Lan...

The previous female Emperor cared most about the court, but now she is thinking more from the perspective of the Gu family... Is this a good thing?

Liu Yexi was conflicted.

At this moment, Mu Yuyan took out a neatly stacked pile of drawings from her sleeve, drawn specifically by Gu Lan for her, naturally always kept close.

"These are all Master Gu's ideas. Go make a copy and hand it over to the Ministry of Works, let them work day and night, and then transport it to Linjiang City," Mu Yuyan instructed. "As for Master Gu, I will go and discuss the business in Linjiang City with him."

Having finished her instructions, Mu Yuyan saw that the porridge was almost ready, lifted the lid, and sprinkled a handful of Chinese wolfberries into it.

Your Majesty, are you trying to nourish the young master's body? I'm too embarrassed to point it out... Liu Yexi pretended not to notice and continued to study the drawings.

However, when she glanced at them.

Her almond eyes widened immediately!

"Waterwheel... a tool that can save people from labor and automatically irrigate the fields?!"

"How is that possible..."

"Raising three kinds of creatures together, and they can be harvested together, with profits several times higher than before?"

"This... Your Majesty, I have been to the Ministry of Works recently, how come I have never heard of these..."

After staring for a full minute, these inventions have far exceeded her knowledge. So, Liu Yexi was half doubtful and half believing!

However.

She felt that even if she gave these drawings to those craftsmen in the Ministry of Works who claimed to have superb skills, their pupils would be shattered!

Witnessing these unprecedented creations of wisdom!

Gu Lan's explanations on the drawings were extremely detailed, making it look very reliable. It just made the viewer feel a kind of embarrassment, thinking, 'I am so ignorant!'

"Go copy them, you'll understand more by looking at them." Mu Yuyan said gently.

Seeing the confused look of the maid, she secretly laughed in her heart, feeling a kind of pity that they share the same fate.

Back then, did she not appear just as ignorant and unworldly as Yexi?

Surprisingly, the Master didn't show any disdain...

"The talents of the Master are truly beyond my comprehension. I'll go make copies!" Liu Yexi marveled, completely giving up.

"The porridge is ready. I'll go and give it to Master Gu first."

Mu Yuyan's face was rosy, she straightened her hair, tasted the warmth of the porridge, nodded in satisfaction, and then picked up the bowl to walk out of the kitchen with graceful steps.

"Yexi, remember to finish this task quickly. Don't let Master Gu be distracted during the Autumn Examination."

"Don't forget, during those days of the Autumn Examination, we also need to visit Tianji Mountain."

"..."
